Netanyahu heads to court as 1st sitting Israeli PM on trial

A banner of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is behind a a barrier during a protest by supporters of Netanyahu outside his residence in Jerusalem, Sunday, May 24, 2020. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was heading to court to face corruption charges in the first criminal trial ever against a sitting Israeli leader. The Hebrew writing say " Netanyahu. you will never walk alone".

He called the trial an “attempt to eliminate the will of the people” and an “attempt to depose a strong right-wing leader.” Netanyahu is set to appear at the opening hearing at a Jerusalem district court, after his request to have his lawyers represent him instead was rejected. The courthouse was drawing crowds of supporters, protesters and media hoping to witness Netanyahu enter the building, where he will hear the arraignment against him.

Ahead of the trial, two sets of protests and counter-protests gathered outside the courthouse and the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem. Dozens of Netanyahu supporters outside the District Court in east Jerusalem wore masks with the prime minister’s face and held posters lambasting the attorney general who indicted him.

Several of Netanyahu’s Likud party ministers, including the newly appointed internal security minister who overseas the police, said they would arrive to the court to back him.

I don’t believe the Israeli’s that investigated came up with the evidence o bring the charges against the PM. the response is what one would expect from Trump with nothing but denial.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a wonderful man, with Strong Views, Hard Work ethic and an all around great person. I have met Benjamin Netanyahu several times and he is a very relaxed, calm, regular Joe

Put him in jail

Seriously, a picture of him behind bars? EnemyOfThePeople
